"He'd always been aroun', since as long as I can remember. A friend, I thought," he knew what that was like, even had family stab him in the back. He listened, respectful and quiet, allowing her to say her peace so he could gather the information he needed - and maybe she could get it off her chest too. "I 'ave no idea where tha came from. Or why he's so ..." childish? Immature? He could think of a few.
"I won't 'ave him talkin' to my family tha way." he was relieved to hear it, that even though this cat had meaning to her she would stand up for Dawnbreak regardless, ❝ That is why I'm here, ❞ he agreed giving a small dip of his charcoal snout.
Under the monotone words was an implied promise,
one of violence.
"I 'ave no idea if he'll try ta come back here, but after those threats..." the mans lip twitched ever so slightly, rolling his shoulders back to raise his head. "I can't allow it." ❝ I won't allow it, ❞ he gave Tiberri a hard stare, before releasing the tension with a dismissive shake of his head. ❝ I'm glad to know we're on the same page, ❞ he rumbled.
❝ We should strengthen our borders, and remain on high alert; at least for a time. Prepare for the worst, and hope for the best ❞
❝ ❞
which means if it hasn't happened in a thread ─ it hasn't happened!
